Downtown Victoria is filled with a great deal of architectural structures that vary in style from old Eurocentric to modern. As you walk the streets of Downtown Victoria it is hard not to notice the beautiful Eurocentric inspired buildings that make you feel as if you are touring an old city in Europe. Although many of the more unique buildings are small, they display plenty of character through their colours, shape and materials. Victoria has modernized some aspects of its architecture but it has

On June 26, 1998, the first privately financed Ohio "Tech 21" composite extension was opened to movement in Butler County, Ohio. The extension was the third composite vehicular scaffold in the U.S. A group made up of agents from the Butler County engineer's office, Martin Marietta Composites, LJB Engineers and Architects, Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Foster-Miller Inc. (Waltham, Mass., U.S.A.) and Bridge Diagnostics Inc. (Stone, Colo., U.S.A.) contrived an amazing in-administration observing

The Fuller “Flatiron” building was designed by Chicago’s prominent architecture firm Daniel H. Burnham and Company ¬– lead by Daniel H. Burnham. Located in the 22nd and 23rd street of Broadway, Fifth Avenue, New York, the building was originally built to serve as offices for a major Chicago contracting firm, the George A. Fuller Company, hence its initial name. As the building finished construction in 1902, the detailed beaux-arts style skyscraper is immortalised through its unique relationship to

Aesthetics Should Never Take Precedence Over Function From the early Greek temples of yesteryear, to the high-tech autonomous buildings of tomorrow, the question of whether the function of a building or its aesthetics qualities are more important has plagued the minds of architects around the world. Webster's II New College Dictionary (Please do not use the encyclopedia or the dictionary to open your essay--way too high school.) defines aesthetics as "The branch of philosophy that provides a

Introduction With more interest into the industrialization of house building methods within the UK, attention has been narrowed down to certain manufactured structural components and specifically the problems of “wet trades”. Less focus has been put on quality and how efficient the assembly process on site. The process of house building has been focused on traditional methods rather than a specific method. The absence of standards which should be applicable for good practice, these problems can be

The art of architecture is one that has been studied for years and years. The first architects came from Rome when the architect Vitruvius wrote De Architectura.The definition of an architect is a person who designs buildings and in many cases also supervises their construction. On top of that there are many futuristic aspects of architecture. A job I would be very interested in would be an architect because I enjoy the art of architecture and it's rich history. The history of architecture

To start off I am somewhat confused on exactly what we are trying to accomplish, although I understand the basics in what we are doing in this paper. I would like to talk about and look up information on building large structures such as skyscrapers as well as complex buildings like the Darla Moore School of Business. How I plan to go about doing this is by showing you first what I already know about building structures that I have learned in previous building construction classes. I then plan on

response to the city, commercial viability, cultural value, and the image of the institute. Nonetheless, the unanimous decision of the jury was that Lyon Architects was the winner for Ideas competition. The jury stated that although the four Architectural Practices showed a high standard and professionalism, Lyon Architects’ design most clearly addressed the brief in relation to design, public statement, sustainability, and cost. In 2011 the project was procured through a Design and Construct method

I work for a large Architectural & Engineering Services firm. Despite the large size of our company, our project works as a satellite and is removed from the larger organization, resulting in a small tightly knit unit. I have made several interesting observations regarding the organizational culture. I noticed that because of the physical disconnect, our unit is also culturally separated from the organizational culture. Our point of contact to the main organization, an executive level manager is
